Check out the forum at legendscentral.com, the N4 section. Someone posted
something about disabling the plates there. A simple change in the track.ini I
believe.

Sorry, don't know, but I don't know what a restrictor
plate is either :) What is it?

I too was always under the impression that restrictor plates had a specific
diameter orifice to restrict air/fuel mixture into the intake manifold. I
would have thought limiting fuel flow as John DiFool has mention would run
the risk of leaning out and destroying rather expensive race engines.
